Global Studies: Gender, Difference, and Power emphasis embodies a transdisciplinary feminist study of everything. We seek to understand, question, and resist systems of power, hate, othering, and oppression (such as colonization, imperialism, racialization, patriarchy) and their effects. We offer small, engaged, and creative discussion-based courses where students think about how things are, how they became this way, and envision a world that is not yet here. In this emphasis, students have the freedom to question and dream.
Students become critical thinkers, cutting-edge researchers, and transformative and collaborative leaders who, upon graduation, work in fields including law, public policy, healthcare, education, human services, science and technology, and the arts.
